Wow, love this video! Especially for window openings, at the top, I like how your system provides support along the span by virtue of the bolted connection to the inner concrete block course Just found this video, so next I am going to go to your web site to see if you have a size suitable for a 16 foot garage door opening and hopefully a table showing what size of your product is needed for a given number of brick courses above the opening. Regarding the left and right ends of the bottom C/S angle brick support beams, an old timer once said you need to lay 2 small pieces of foam at each end of the metal to provide a thermal expansion gap so that the metal will not expand horizontally at the ends and crush and crack the grout at these locations. I don’t see a provision for this in your video. Is it really necessary?
